It's January 23rd, we've had 12 school shootings in America since the start of the school year.

We have gone through roughly half of the school year.

I think the gun makers will give their employees a "one time" bonus due to the tax cut. Plus, I believe with every school shooting, way more guns are sold the next day.

Praise the lord and god bless

Actually I think that was since the beginning of the calendar year. At least if you’re looking at the New York Times article from last night. But that counted suicide and stuff so I dunno I didn’t really dig into it.

Jan. 22: NET Charter High School in New Orleans, LouisianaSomeone driving by the school fired on a group of students in the parking lot. Only one boy was injured.

Jan. 20: Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North CarolinaFollowing an argument, a 21-year-old Winston-Salem University student was shot and killed during a sorority event at Wake Forest University.

Jan. 15: Wiley College in Marshall, TexasTwo people in a car exchanged gunfire with a person in a dormitory parking lot. No one was injured, but a bullet was fired into a dorm room with three female students inside.

Jan. 10: Coronado Elementary School in Sierra Vista, ArizonaA 14-year-old died in a school bathroom from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Jan. 10: Grayson College in Denison, TexasA student confused a training weapon with a real one and fired a bullet through a classroom wall. No students were injured.

Jan. 3: East Olive Elementary School in St. John, MichiganA man standing in the school’s parking lot called 911 saying he was suicidal. He spoke with a county official for several hours on the phone, according to local media, but ultimately shot himself and died from a single gunshot wound.

There's your list of mayhem Wags. BB guns and bus windows. Suicides. Accidents. Not what most people would define as "school shootings"......unless they just want to broadcast bullshit.

My god, we're blowing shit off because, hey comee on nobody was injured, just a bullet through a window, or "she's in good spirits now", or "Only one was injured", or "hey, just a bullet into a dorm room".

WTF? Seriously? that's the point we're at in society. I can't imagine going into a class room and learning or teaching witha window being replaced because it had bullet howles in it. As a teacher I'd just have to say, "hey, look, nobody was injured, lets go".

It's pretty fucked up.

Goose's worldview is so fucked up on this kind of stuff you can't even have an honest conversation with him. Sad really.

What percentage of Americans would you guess call a suicide a "school shooting"??

How about the 2 cars in dormitory parking lot?

The pellet gun through a bus window?

The student accidentally having a gun go off?

My bet is that a VERY low percentage of people randomly questioned would count those "school shootings".

So mock me all you want, but the media inflating these statistics for their stories does them no good and much harm.

Now since you care so much about lives when can I anticipate your post about BigPharma and the 165 Overdose deaths yesterday? Oh, I forgot BigPharma wrote most of Obamacare and are allies with the Dems so they don't get this treatment.

Didn't think so. Instead you want to harp on guns which don't kill as many as either of those. Tribalism, preach it to me.

You dig yourself deeper by not understanding the tragedy of those guns yet. Big Pharma? Fuck big pharma. Save me your planned parenthood shit. Till those conservatives care about people outside the womb, save your stuff for somebody who isn't on the front lines with these scared women. Every time I think about what my wife goes through for free on a fairly regular basis I laugh at the assholes who bitch about planned parenthood. They just are beyond clueless.
